a lot of things have happened down there without the papers getting wind of it

and quite rightly so- when did we last hear about shenanigans in INTEL or CIE etc

Public servant accountability anyone??????

To be honest if no-one has seen the newspaper article it probably was a mistake on Dad's part. Time to start looking for a nursing home I reckon!

I wouldn't commit daddy yet

Cadet's disciplinary matters are dealt with at high Officer level

they nor the Cadets are going to publicise any wrong doings

RACO and the Brotherhood of the Rings are better than Opus Dei for keeping stum

they will only go to the media when they have something to gain from it

ie the luxury accommodation for young Officers

I doubt very much this is true.. This wouldn't do a potential Officer's career any good.

If it did happen, it would have been the current Junior class, the Senior class is about to be commissioned, and I can't see them dirtying their bibs this late in their cadetships.

This would certainly cause a furore if true - imagine the biggest end of a Cadet intake getting
discharged because of something like this..........

You'd wonder with the "free thinkers" the DF has begun to draw in to the Cadet school these days.

I'll ask my mate down there and see what they say.

Just looking to see if anyone knows anything about this- I’ve been away for the last while and when I returned my Dad mentioned that he had read something in a national paper about Cadets being disciplined about a protest (or something) over the level of physical training they were expected to do. He’s not familiar with the Defence Forces so the story was a bit woolly. Can anyone enlighten me?

Also, belated Happy Christmas and New Year!
